Slam Fest // Hell On Wheels

October 2015

103 degree heat, a ton of vintage bikes, and hanging with your best friends as you twist grips and smash around a world-class track together is a phenomenal way to spend a weekend. We went out for the TransWorld Motocross annual Slam Fest event held at Milestone Raceway in Riverside, CA. It was a two day event with Friday running the Industry Cup, an event where several of the desk jockey's from the MX industry got together and pretended to still know how to ride fast. The damned thing is, all of them are still really fast! It was an awesome thing to witness.

We had Team Captain, Tyler Bereman with us the whole time and he jumped into the race as well on Saturday to show us how it's done. It's not easy showing up to the track without gear, jumping on a nearly 30 year old bike with a gas tank held on with bailing wire, and ripping the track to pieces, but that's Tyler for you. Now, Slam Fest is the larger event with three events in total: Slam Fest, The Hell On Wheels "Run What You Brung" vintage bike takeover, and the Industry Cup. We partnered up with Hell On Wheels to bring the "Run What You Brung" event to Slam Fest and make sure the older bikes...and some of the riders. got the love they deserved. It's one thing to get a brand new bike around a track, it's entirely insane to throw a leg over some of the bikes we saw making laps. In the end Nick Lapaglia took home 1st
